As the tourism season is peaking in Chania, so is the demand for hotel and restaurant staff. Although it is now past the end of June and most businesses have been operating for at least two months, there are visible gaps in staffing. Following a survey of want ads for staff by the Haniotika Nea, it would appear that the greatest demand from hotels and restaurants is for cooks, waiters, dishwashers and kitchen staff generally. Especially in hotels, there is an enormous demand for waiting staff and to a lesser extent for reception and maintenance personnel.
